SMOKE-SILVER. Lands were held in some places by the payment of the sum of sixpence yearly to the sheriff, called smoke-silver (Par. 4. Edw. VI.) Smoke-silver and smoke-penny are to be paid to the ministers of divers parishes as a modus in lieu of tithe-wood; and in some manors formerly belonging to religious houses, there is still paid, as appended to the said manors, the ancient Peter-pence, by the name of Smoke money. (Twisd. Hist. Vindicat. 77.)
